If you don't have some other reason to use the rsync server, you should
just use "plain" rsync for this.
rsync -e ssh -av remotehost:/remote/path /local/path
This is what I do right now, however I would rather do what Jean-Gabriel was trying because then I have logging done on the server. Currently, I log to the client and rsync the log, however, it is easy for the customer to get more info than I would like. So, my point is unless the rsyncing is within the same group, it is better to use the daemon and ssh tunneling for improved security and robustness of the service. ( I have tried what Jean-Gabriel was trying already and gave up for now. )
